The discussion of the Alien series of films and the props used in them is the aim, but if it's got Big Bugs and Big Guns, then they are welcome too!

Can anyone tell me the correct belt to use for the BDU pants or post a pic? I've searched but can't seem to find it.

Thanks

Yeah, it's the older inch & quarter canvas trouser belts from Vietnam to WWII. On film they may have been khaki color. It's been talked about before, as with all of these questions, possibly both the open face black and brass colored closed face buckles were used.

I'm pretty good about searching thoroughly before asking questions. I searched the archives and found no trace of it.

I appreciate the quick responses. I'm about to go into clothing sales now and grab one.

I just wanna add .. look how skinny that dude is. That waist is no wider than 32" possibly 30". Bill Paxton, Mike Biehn, even Mark Rolston .. all between 5'10"~6' and 155lbs~175lbs. Max. No wonder the original cut costume pants were made like jeans. Only those guys can wear that cut and be comfortable.
